Would make an ideal gift for any writing enthusiast.
Antique lap desks had hinged writing surfaces, often covered in leather, felt, or other material, that flip up to reveal storage space for papers. Individual compartments were designed to hold inkwells, pens, sealing wax, and other contemporary writing materials.
The Shannon Ruler is a historical rolling parallel ruler, patented in the late 19th century, designed for drawing parallel lines and plotting nautical charts during the quill pen era. It features a central roller bar that allows ink to flow along the entire length of the ruler while maintaining a parallel distance from an edge, making it an ideal tool for navigation and technical drawing
